Personally  I'm  not afraid of extremely intelligent people   neither do i get scared of them. On the contrary i envy them,  i try to learn  from them and get close to them.  I try as much as possible to even supercede their level of intelligence. 

I'm  a kind of person that challenges my limit a lot and whenever I come across extremely intelligent people i don't  feel intimidated,  i don't  feel hatred,  i don't  see them in bad light   what i see is motivation  and an opportunity to push my limit once more.

Coming across extremely intelligent people just gives me the necessary motivation i need to be better than i was.  This could be because i could be termed as someone whose  intelligence is over  average and always willing to be the best of the best in my field so i devote my time to expanding my horizon and knowledge base through reading and experience. 

In a nutshell  i don't get  scared of extremely  intelligent people  instead i get  close them,  learn from them  and emulate  them.

I truly enjoyed reading your post. I am happy to see you aren't intimidated by people some may consider extremely bright, above average. I think you're doing a great service to not only yourself but to others as well when you choose to challenge yourself when observing others of high intelligence.
